On the other side, at Blazing Fire Academy, within a relatively secluded indoor training ground.
At this moment, three figures stood in the training ground. Huo Wushuang and Mu Yang were positioned in the center, preparing for a soul battle, while Huo Wu stood on the sidelines, acting as both referee and spectator.
"Crimson Crystal Dragon, possess!"
With a low shout, Huo Wushuang's entire body ignited with crimson flames. His muscles swelled significantly, two crimson dragon horns emerged on his head, his skin was covered with a layer of scorching crimson crystal scales, and his hands transformed into crimson crystal dragon claws. Three soul rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared around him.
"Come on, Mu Yang. Let me test the strength of your secret technique."
After activating his Crimson Crystal Dragon martial soul, Huo Wushuang spoke to Mu Yang, who stood dozens of meters away.
"Iceflame Arrow Barrage!"
Mu Yang nodded slightly. As he circulated his soul power, a surge of energy emerged from his body. In the air before him, over a dozen ice-blue arrows radiating intense cold coalesced instantly.
"Go—"
With a wave of his hand, the ice-blue arrows streaked through the air, transforming into icy-blue streams of light that shot rapidly toward Huo Wushuang.
Huo Wushuang stepped forward sharply, his figure darting out to evade the incoming iceflame arrows.
'Dodging alone isn't enough,' Mu Yang thought to himself. With a subtle shift in his intent, the previously launched iceflame arrows turned mid-air and, guided by his spiritual power, once again aimed at Huo Wushuang.
"They can track? Second soul skill: Crimson Flame Crystal Barrier!"
Huo Wushuang's eyes widened in surprise, but his reaction was swift. His second soul ring lit up as a red, translucent crystal shield enveloped his body, flickering with crimson flames.
Originally, Huo Wushuang's second soul skill had been a defensive-type technique, but after his Fire Tyrant Dragon martial soul evolved into the Crimson Crystal Dragon, his soul skills underwent changes. While their general type remained the same, their effects were enhanced, becoming significantly stronger due to the evolution.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The next moment, over a dozen iceflame arrows struck the crimson crystal shield, producing a series of intense explosions. Ice-blue flames burst forth in clusters.
In an instant, the crimson crystal barrier around Huo Wushuang was engulfed in roaring iceflames.
The Iceflame Arrow Barrage was a powerful offensive technique derived from the Secret Technique of Ice and Flame that Mu Yang had developed. It could be used for concentrated attacks on a single target or distributed for group attacks, delivering dual-layered damage.
The first layer of damage came from the physical impact of the iceflame arrows, akin to ordinary arrow strikes.
The second layer of damage occurred after the arrows hit their target, exploding into iceflames that caused ultra-low-temperature burning, completely opposite to the effects of ordinary flames.
Due to the strong adhesive nature of the iceflames, unless the target physically isolated the flames or neutralized them with soul power of equal or greater strength, they would have to endure the burning until the energy infused into the arrows by Mu Yang was completely expended.
For soul masters with defensive-type soul skills, the Iceflame Arrow Barrage wasn't overly threatening, as they could use their defensive skills to block the burning.
After all, the instantaneous explosive power of the Iceflame Arrow Barrage wasn't exceptionally strong. Given Mu Yang's soul power level of Rank 25, most three-ring and above soul masters could withstand it with their defensive skills.
However, for those without defensive soul skills or who failed to activate them in time, the experience would be quite unpleasant.
"Third soul skill: Crimson Dragon Transformation!"
Realizing the troublesome nature of Mu Yang's iceflames, Huo Wushuang didn't hesitate to activate his third soul skill.
As his third soul ring glowed brightly, crimson light enveloped his body. His muscles swelled further, flame-like dragon patterns appeared across his body, and a pair of crystal dragon wings covered in red scales unfurled from his back, blazing with crimson flames. His aura surged dramatically.
The Crimson Dragon Transformation was a self-enhancing and flight-capable soul skill. It enveloped the user in crimson dragonfire, formed dragon wings, and provided 100% amplification to resistance against abnormal states, strength, attack, and defense, lasting for half an hour.
Flight wasn't exclusive to soul masters with bird-type martial souls. Any martial soul with wings, combined with the right soul ring, could enable a soul master to fly, though they might not be as proficient.
As the flames roared, the iceflames attached to the crimson crystal barrier were quickly burned away by the crimson dragonfire.
Compared to Huo Wushuang, Mu Yang's soul power level was significantly lower. The gap of over ten ranks meant that the intensity of his iceflames couldn't match the strength of Huo Wushuang's dragonfire, allowing the latter to quickly neutralize the attack.
"Mu Yang, don't use this secret technique in front of others. If you can avoid exposing your twin martial souls, it's best to keep them hidden."
After dispelling the iceflames, Huo Wushuang didn't immediately counterattack but instead advised Mu Yang seriously.
Although Huo Wushuang was still young, he had heard Huo Lie mention the darker sides of the soul master world on numerous occasions.
This could even be seen in how the Heaven Dou Empire, one of the two great empires on the continent, had yet to nurture a single Title Douluo.
The Jade Phosphor Douluo Dugu Bo? Dugu Bo wasn't cultivated by the Heaven Dou Empire. Before joining the empire and becoming a royal guest elder, he had already reached the rank of a nine-ring Title Douluo.
Although Blazing Fire Academy was a neutral faction and didn't have conflicts or interests with other major forces, they couldn't afford to be careless.
Hearing this, Mu Yang froze for a moment.
While the Iceflame Arrow Barrage he had just unleashed was powered by iceflame soul power, he hadn't activated his Iceflame Saint Shadow martial soul. Instead, it was directly cast using the iceflame soul power cultivated through the IceFlame Meditation technique
Without revealing his Iceflame Saint Shadow martial soul, how could he expose his twin martial souls?
After pondering for a moment, Mu Yang said, "Brother Wushuang, are you assuming too much? My Icefire Immortal jade Ginseng martial soul possesses both ice and fire attributes. Using ice-attribute flames shouldn't lead others to suspect twin martial souls.
"The reason I can unleash iceflame soul power is because of the special nature of my meditation technique, not because I activated the Iceflame saint Shadow martial soul."
Before his martial soul had evolved, as a food-type soul master with a Ginseng martial soul, Mu Yang indeed had to be cautious about using fire-type techniques in front of others.
After all, the Ginseng martial soul lacked a clear elemental attribute, making it theoretically impossible for him to cultivate fire-attributed soul power.
If he had used fire-type techniques then, combined with his red hair, others might have speculated that he possessed twin martial souls, with the second being fire-attributed.
But after his martial soul evolved, such assumptions no longer had any basis.
The Icefire Immortal jade Ginseng martial soul naturally possessed both ice and fire attributes, fulfilling the prerequisites for cultivating the fusion of ice and fire soul power—iceflame soul power.
